Why Worship is Important
Why does worship bring us into the presence of God? Why is worship so very important to us and to God? First of all it makes us thankful and helps shifts our focus off our problems, allowing us to trust and believe God for an answer. But further let us look at Isaiah 14 and realize that Lucifer was in charge of heavenly worship to God. Through jealously and pride he fell, and has always tried to get us to doubt God and His Word! If we worship God we are defeating the enemy and proclaiming God is sovereign. God not only loves our worship and thankfulness, but we defeat the enemy on his own terms without lifting a finder! Praise God forever! Glory be to God in the highest! That wasn't hard and gains a victory for our soul. Learn to worship and enter the very presence of the Almighty.

Freedom
Are you free? On this July 4th we always consider our freedoms and the greatness of this wonderful country we live in. I am thankful that I was raised in the United States of America, but how many of us are really free? It seems government is getting more intrusive and demanding on each of us. Regulations, taxes, laws that seem to restrict us are everywhere. The cost of freedom has been paid for by many with their own life's blood. Extremely thankful to those who have die to keep our country free. But, are we really free. Real freedom comes from only one place. The Bible tells us that if we are in Christ and have trusted and given our life to Him, then and only them are we truly free. John 8:32 "tells us whom the Son (Jesus) has set free is free indeed." Freedom can only come when we are not in debt to anyone. The world controls and Jesus sets free. So I ask again are you free? If not call out to the only one who can set you free.

Beware the Wolves
In Luke 10:3 Jesus said he sent his deciples out as "sheep among wolves". Jesus also said that after He would leave, grievious wolves would come in and attack us. Many times we get upset when problems come our way, but Jesus predicted it would happen. The day we are living in Christians everwhere are being attacked, for what they believe, and what they say and even the attitude others think we have. Makes me think that if we are having it all go our way with no problems or worries from the world, then maybe we really we aren't His sheep. Christians should have issues with the world, after all we are an enemy to the world. The Christian lifestyle and belief is so contrary to what the world thinks that we bring condemnation on them without even saying a world. Live as a sheep and expect to run back to the shepard when the wolves growl. Remember they may growl, but they can't bite. God has His hand of protection apon us. If you are a sheep, you will hear the wolves growl.
